I use saddle soap to clean em up, and to keep the leather supple, the I use a product called Dubbin, don't know if you get it there.
But petrolium jelley is an alternative (also makes it easier to get all the dead bugs off). Lots stuff out there for leather care though. As for keeping it dry, as long as you take care of your leathers they should last regardless. Never dry your leathers in front of a heater or such, shrinks it and hardens the leather.
Anyways I carry rain overalls with me. Cheap insurance.
